I am unable to reproduce this locally.

[Barshan-Mandal]

May I send you the source code?

[jamesmontemagno]

If you can upload it to a github repo that would be ideal.

[Barshan-Mandal]

But github doesn't allow to upload a file more than 25 mb.please download it from google drive

Add a gitignore file to your root directly and then sync it with github.

Use fileData.OpenReadAsync(), don't use FullPath

This seems to be resolved 🎉
